Was the wood damp at the time the book was placed on the table? Is it a hard cover or soft cover. If soft cover, maybe it maybe coaxed with a steam iron. The steam may penetrate the cover if you iron it from ghe inside of the cover. Not too sure about a hard covered book.
The wood wasn't damp at the time it was placed on the table. It is a hard cover book. I guess over time, the humidity just took a toll? I don't care as much about the book as I do the wood. If I have to sacrifice the book to save the table, I may just try the steam iron if you are sure the steam iron won't damage the wood.
What kind of material is the outercovering of the book's cover made of? Is it a shiny paper? Is the wood's surface impervious to rubbing alcohol? Take a Qtip an rub a bit of rubbing alcohol in a hidden spot. If the finish is untouched and no colour is removed, maybe just a few drops of rubbing alcohol coaxed between the cover and the wood may dissolve the bond.
